BLIMEY! thats quite popular over here (the uk version) they call it the 'english Friends'

They tried to make it all daring and sexual and it just didn't work over here..Besides, there can never be another Friends..That show was great..:D

Yeah..Will and Grace is great, too..And South Park..Man..I'm babbling..

Cap'n, I just don't see the show as having smart writing..I always felt they were trying too hard..I guess it just isn't my style..The mom bugs the Hell out of me, too..She was ok in Bad Santa, but I hate her mouth..

who plays the Mom?:duh:

Some lame actress..:duh:

I seen Rory Gilmore at the white stripes concert

Who's Rory Gilmore? The sassy mom or the clever daughter? :duh:

Sorry Cap'n..I won't pick on the show anymore..:P

Why is it so unbelievable? Gilmore Girls is a funny show!

Hey you guys leave Seacaptain alone! Captain? Did I tell you when I did that ER @ Warner Bros going back to car afterwards I walked right through the little make shift townsquare for Gilmore Girls. Apparently, that show is one of the studios biggest hits. I've watched it once, but haven't got into it yet. I usually get into shows long after their popularity during syndication.

Forgot to mention "Still Standing" on CBS Monday nights with the guy from Full Monty, and the chick from Square Pegs, and Less Than Zero. That's a funny show.

Cool! Is that the same time you saw Maura Tierney? Did you see the Celebrity Poker show when Maura Tierney beat out the mom from Gilmore Girls in the finals? I didn't know who to root for!

What I said about it being character-driven and not situation-driven is the key for me. A lot of "bad" shows are situation-driven. Brenda goes to France! Steve is in a volleyball tournament! Now Steve is in a rowing race! Kelly is joining a cult! Brandon grows his sideburns!! That's a bad way to write a show, it's a cheesy way to create drama. And this is from someone who grew up on 90210.

My brother has tried to watch Gilmore Girls, but he hasn't gotten into it much either. So I know it's not for everyone, but what comedy is?

I totally missed that one. That would've been good.

You've totally peeked my curiosity now. What days is it on? I'm going to start checking it out.

It's on Bravo, new episodes are Thursdays at 9pm, I think. But it's re-run throughout the week.

They have 5 tables of 5 celebrities play poker, and then one final game with all the winners. Maura Tierney won! It was funny because Dave Foley is the host... he kept referring to Newsradio.

Internet: the only place where you can continue a conversation a year later. :D

Shhh...Seacap? I'm gonna work background for GG on Monday. If I had your number, I'd call ya from the set. Send me your number here if you can before Sunday night.

Done, and done! Woohoo...
